I just made the jump from Tinkercad to Fusion 360. After watching a few Youtube tutorials and doing a couple follow along projects, I have the hang of it for basics. It takes a little longer than Tinkercad, but some stuff is actually far easier, like accurate fillets.

Have you had a chance to try it out yet?

Tupperware that can be sealed, used a little stand in the bottom of it, and some acetone in the bottom of the Tupperware with a paper towel to wick the acetone up and help vaporize it. I also wiped the part down with acetone with a paper towel before placing it in the Tupperware to speed it up...

Definitely , no question. And don’t upgrade anything until you’ve gone through several rolls of filament and get the hang of things and can hone in on what you really need, and stuff you don’t need.

I do worry about the electronics while printing at such extreme temps in an enclosure. I think if I keep printing ASA and using these temps, I may look into a more permanent enclosure and a way to get all the electronics besides the steppers out of the enclosure. I'm in the process of...

Nothing crazy. I printed it on a bone stock MK3S+ inside a el cheapo enclosure off Amazon in my garage. I think its around 260/105 for temps. It prints like PLA, really, really nice and smooth. I print it with a brim so it sticks to the build plate as it can warp pretty easily. Compared to...

Just finished printing this AllSky Raspberry Pi mount in Inland natural color ASA filament. Smoothed it with acetone. The results are incredible, you can't even tell its 3D printed with how smooth the parts turned out. Probably makes it more waterproof for outdoor use now that the layer lines...

I have an MK3S+ and a Mini+, I wanted to get one of these, but I can't justify the price since the other two Prusa's cover 98% of my printing needs. My wife got me an Artillery X2 for printing anything that won't fit on the MK3S. Its not as great as a Prusa, but its pretty good and a fraction...

Have you received it yet? I'm kicking myself for not getting in on the early bird special. Seems like a pretty awesome machine for the price.

Did a test run of it with RDP on an old Thinkpad i5 system with 8gb and 128gb SSD. So far, its faster than if I were running it on the MBP under Parallels ARM -> x64 emulation. Success! I dont make large, complex models so I think RDP with gigabit should be sufficient for my needs. Just hobby...

I currently have Autodesk Inventor running on Win11 inside Parallels 17 on my M1 MBP. It works, but it isn’t fast. So I’m curious about running a networked Windows machine instead of using Parallels. What would be the best approach to putting a Windows machine hooked up to my gigabit home...

Did you update the firmware after installing BL Touch? I really liked it when I had it on my Ender 3. Super PINDA on Prusa is even better, but the BL Touch made life easier in my experience. I hated tinkering, I just wanted to print, BL Touch sped that up once installed.

I had an Ender3, not a 5. If I recall, at least on the board I had, there were two different ways to set it up. Either replace the Z stop switch with the BL touch wiring, or plug it into the ABL port on the board. Not sure the specifics on your board, but thats how mine was. It was the...

I went with your suggestion. I attached two red wires to VCC on the Pro Micro board, and one wire went to the OLED + rotary encoder, and the second red wire went to the RGB strip and joystick sensor. That way the amps were kept lower.

I'm in the process of assembling an Orbion Space Mouse, https://github.com/FaqT0tum/Orbion_3D_Space_Mouse I'm a newbie to electronics. The OLED, rotary encoder, 3x rear switches, neopixel, and joystick all connect to the single VCC wire. How would you go about connecting all of these devices...

Looking for a Windows 7 Professional key that I can use to activate a Win11 install on a VM.

Glad you're getting it figured out! I have a Prusa Mini+ and a MK3S+. I ditched my Chinese printers, they made good results, but I was tired of tinkering and calibrating. The real strength of Prusa is their custom slicer and their firmware work so dang well together that it makes 3D printing an...

The previous monitor gave me wicked headaches and eye strain, never could figure out why. Originally went back to my 2x 27" Apple Thunderbolt Displays, and just today replaced it with this LG 34" USB-C curved monitor, love it, its even better than having 2 Thunderbolt Displays. The Thunderbolt...

Oh man, thats a shame. I heavily relied on that website when in college and grad school, since I used a laptop back then instead of a desktop. Their reviews and guides were very helpful in finding the best value machine that fit my requirements. As some of you have already noted, their forums...

Still have the AppleTV?

Right now its just: AT&G fiber optic RG -> cheap Netgear switch from Best Buy -> Unifi AP LR and other hardwire ports to stuff like Xbox/desktop PCs. UAP-LR is WiFi to tablets/phones/Ring doorbell/3D printer Octoprint RPi/etc.

The AP won’t be running the DHCP, the Ubiquiti controller box that is running the Unifi software would be

Yuck. I'm an Apple person and ditched AP years ago. They haven't kept up. I'm running Ubiquiti for my home network now. With that being said, you're right. For some reason people still buy them.

Think I got it figured out with a little bit of Google'ing. I need to set the AT&T box into "IP Passthrough" mode, it uses subnet 192.168.1.0/24. Then set the UniFi controller up as the DHCP server, subnet 192.168.2.0/24 so there aren't any conflicts. Does this sound right?

Would it be better to set up a second LAN using the managed switch? The AT&T router provides 192.168.0.1 -> 192.168.0.255. Should I use the switch to provide 192.168.1.1 -> 192.168.1.255, for all the devices in my house? And connect the router to the switch to provide internet services only...

Ah, thats probably it. I have a new managed switch coming this week that should be able to handle DHCP. I only want the AT&T gear bringing internet into the house, nothing else. I'm very new to advanced home networking and I'm learning as I go this week.

I unplugged my AT&T FIOS router this morning to do some cleaning and rearranging. When it was unplugged, my entire home network went down. I couldn't access my Wifi from my laptop and I couldn't access my various Raspberry Pi devices running stuff like my 3D printers. My WiFi access point is a...

Pronterface always works. Make sure the baud rate is correct.

I like the hairspray approach. It is just the lightest dusting of hair spray is all it takes. Quick, thin layer, don't coat it. I also use hair spray as a release agent for PETG since that stuff bonds so well to most build plates. The only except is the prusa textured plate, that thing is...

Project long time in the making. I built a sideboard table to fit 2 standard size 3D printers (Prusa MK3S+ and Ender 3 Pro frame), plus drawers for tools and cabinets for filament, etc. There were no furniture pieces on the market that fit my wishes so I found some sideboard plans, drew it out...

I'm not an Apple guy, to me a computer is a tool and I pick what fits my needs at the time. Currently thats Apple. As your post states, Windows has been pushing a lot of shit that a lot of folks don't care for, loved it back in the Win7 days. Apple isn't perfect either, but for now the tool...

Got a Prusa Mini+ for Christmas last year, getting a Prusa MK3S+ for my bday tomorrow. So I'm currently stripping down my Ender 3 Pro and will be rebuilding it to run Klipper, following this tutorial: https://www.youmaketech.com/klipper-on-ender-3/

Uh, you’re response was an overly dramatic reply to my take on Windows. You’re the one who assumes wild dreams take place on a computer choice. Mine is an appliance. I explicitly stated Mac isn’t perfect. But yes, my maxed out 14” MBP has no competition in the Windows world, and likely won’t for...

Where did I say that?

One of the many things that pushed me into the direction of OS X. Mac isn't perfect, but some of the shenanigans MS has been pulling have been too irritating.

I'm curious what GenMay thinks on this effect spreading way beyond chips. Everyone and their mother seems to be sitting on dry powder in the event of another 2008 like crash. I don't think one is coming. So much money has been printed, unemployment is low, consumer demand is high. I think what...

14" Macbook Pro M1 Max 10 core CPU/32 core GPU, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD that I picked up in stock at my local Apple Store. Paired it with an LG 32" 4K Ultrafine display and a Logitech MX3 keyboard/mouse. This setup replaced my 2017 i7 27" 5K iMac with 27" Thunderbolt display.

Ordered mine yesterday. Guess I'll be waiting awhile: "Your expected order availability: Q3 2022"

I'm in a similar boat. My 3 year old 27" iMac is rocking the 7700k with a RX 580, it is still incredibly fast at anything I throw at it, and most gaming I do these days are quick Starcraft sessions when the kids go to bed. Theres no value in spending insane cash to upgrade, I suspect this...

My only counter point to this is the 8gb M1 Air is dogshit. 8gb just doesn't cut it. Not sure how Apple is handling the memory but I was doing at home continuing med education using a university's streaming website and it kept reloading with an out of memory error. This was with 1 tab open in...
